Where to find your Audible username

Your Audible username is the name you use to sign into the app or website — not your email address, and not your full name. You can find it in your account settings on any device where you're already signed in, or by checking your original Audible confirmation email.

If you're signed into the Audible app on your phone or tablet, open the menu (usually three horizontal lines in the top left or bottom right), tap Account or Settings, then look for Profile or Account Information. Your username will be listed there, sometimes labeled as "Username" or "Display Name."

On the Audible website, sign in at audible.com, then click the account icon in the top right corner and select Account Details or Your Account. Your username appears in the profile section.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Audible username is different from your email address and appears in your account settings once you're signed in.
  • On the mobile app, go to the menu, then Account or Settings, then Profile or Account Information to see your username.
  • On the website, click the account icon in the top right, select Account Details, and look in the profile section.
  • Your original Audible confirmation email from when you created the account also contains your username.
  • If you cannot find your username anywhere, Audible customer service can confirm it by verifying your email address and account details.

Checking your confirmation email

When you first created your Audible account, Amazon sent you a confirmation email to the address you registered with. That email includes your username and is often the fastest way to find it if you're not currently signed in.

Search your email inbox for messages from Audible or Amazon with subject lines like "Welcome to Audible" or "Confirm your Audible account." Open the email and look for a line that says "Username:" or "Your username is:" — it will be right there in the body of the message.

If you cannot find the original confirmation email, check your spam or promotions folder, or search for "Audible" in your email to pull up all messages from that sender. Many people find the confirmation email in their promotions tab if they use Gmail or a similar service that sorts marketing messages automatically.

What to do if you're not signed in anywhere

If you don't have the Audible app installed, aren't signed in on any device, and can't find your confirmation email, you can still recover your username through the Audible website.

Go to audible.com and click "Sign In" in the top right. On the sign-in page, look for a link that says "Forgot your password?" or "Need help signing in?" Click it. You'll be asked to enter the email address associated with your account. Audible will send you a password reset link to that email.

Once you reset your password and sign in, your username will be visible in your account settings. You don't need to remember it after that — you can always sign in with your email address instead, which is what most people do on a daily basis.

The difference between username and email on Audible

Audible lets you sign in using either your username or your email address, which can be confusing. Your username is what you chose when you created the account — it's a display name that's unique to you. Your email address is the contact information you registered with.

For most purposes, you don't need to remember your username at all. You can sign into the app or website using your email address and password. The username matters mainly if you want to share your profile with someone else or if Audible customer service asks for it to verify your identity.

This flexibility means you can forget your username without losing access to your account. As long as you remember your email address and password, you can always get back in.

Contacting Audible if you still can't find it

If you've checked your account settings, your confirmation email, and the password reset page and still cannot locate your username, Audible customer service can tell you what it is.

Go to audible.com, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click "Contact Us." Select the option for account or sign-in issues. You can chat with a representative, request a callback, or send a message. Have your email address and the phone number associated with your account ready — Audible will use these to verify you're the account owner before sharing your username.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my Audible username?

Yes. Sign into your account, go to Account Details, and look for a Profile or Username section. Most accounts allow you to change your username once every 30 days. Enter your new username and save the change.

Is my Audible username the same as my Amazon username?

Not necessarily. Audible and Amazon are linked, but they can have separate usernames. Your Audible username is what you see in your Audible account settings, while your Amazon username (if you have one) is separate. You can sign into Audible with your email address regardless.

What if I forgot my password but remember my username?

Go to audible.com, click "Sign In," then click "Forgot your password?" Enter your email address (not your username) and Audible will send you a reset link. You can then create a new password and sign in.

Do I need my username to listen to audiobooks?

No. You can sign into Audible and listen to your library using your email address and password. Your username is optional for everyday use.
